Number of Replications of Terms
Returns a vector or a list of the number of replicates for each term in the formula.

Usage
replications(formula, data = NULL, na.action)Arguments
- formula
a formula or a terms object or a data frame.
- data
a data frame used to find the objects in
formula.- na.action
function for handling missing values. Defaults to a
na.actionattribute ofdata, then a setting of the optionna.action, orna.failif that is not set.
Details
If formula is a data frame and data is missing,
formula is used for data with the formula ~ ..
Any character vectors in the formula are coerced to factors.
Value
A vector or list with one entry for each term in the formula giving the number(s) of replications for each level. If all levels are balanced (have the same number of replications) the result is a vector, otherwise it is a list with a component for each terms, as a vector, matrix or array as required.
A test for balance is !is.list(replications(formula,data)).
